Judith Works Spiffs Up Coins In The Fountain ~ Part Memoir, Part Travelogue

Pasta! Vino! Hill Towns! Coins in the Fountain will transport youto Italy where you can find out what it's really like to live the expatriatelife. It's all here in the story of a couple who said "NO!" to middleage boredom and made a dash from a small-town in Oregon to cosmopolitan Romewhen the author went to work for the United Nations. A brush with the Italian medical system, anauto accident with the military police, dealing with an excitable landlord andhelping pick grapes all became part of their daily adventures. And of coursethere were many new friends like the countess with her butt-reducing machineand the count who served as a model for statues of naked horsemen.
